I have a vin # from a freind of mine, that has a new 2010 Dodge 1500 on order. Dealer is no help on vehicle delivery date. How, or where can I check or track where the vehicle is in production, or shipping??

When the Challengers were coming out in 08, a salesman told me when they recieve a VIN it takes about 2 weeks to get the vehicle.

Never mind. He went and bought one off the lot. No idea when the ordered truck would have been coming in.........

It seems to me that the VIN is assigned once a order is scudualed. So it still could be weeks, to months, if parts or paint or something gets restricted.

If a order is put to D (Firm Schedule - dealer has allocation and all parts available.) or D1 (Gateline schedule - scheduled to be built.), then the VIN will be created. The allocation could be the issue for a delay. Dealers are allocated a number of certain models based on what they have been moving. So if you order a truck that isn't often sold by the dealership, allocation could take awhile unless another dealership doesn't use their full allocation of vehicles.

I believe there is already a thread with the list of Order Codes. Just for quick info.
BX - Passed edit available for schedule.
C = sub firm.
D, then D1.
E - Frame
F - Paint
G - Trim
I - Built not ok'd
J - Built ok'd.
Then a selection of J's, Then a bunch of tracking K*** codes for all the ways they may be shipped.

Info is power.
